Question

Can I plan my own baby shower?

Share

I have two children and never had a baby shower. I never had the friends or family to do it for me. I really would like to have one. I am not even worry about gifts, I just want to play the games and just have that experience! Is it wrong for me to plan my own?

I planned my own and had it at my house but my mom paid for it and was the RSVP contact for the invites so it didn't seem like I planned it. I see nothing wrong with doing your own shower and having it at your own place is great because then you don't have to transport and unpack all of that stuff. Since you already have 2 kids and this is baby #3, you may want to consider having a baby "sprinkle" as opposed to a shower. That way people won't feel so put out when buying gifts.

I am having my 4th child and never was given a baby shower. I agree the experience of the whole shower I wish I could have experienced. I think planning your own shower is fine. To be surprised with one would have been nice too.
